>From FileAid MVS Batch Reference: Deleting Data: Use the DROP function to delete unwanted records by specifying selection parameters to identify the records you want dropped. You must specify both an input and an output dataset. I'm thinking the output dataset would probably be the same dataset as the input dataset. I haven't tried it, so that's just a guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
